Opinions on this picture please
Ok, bought this 2007 Aerolite in 2/13. The picture, if you can tell, shows some bubbling / air pockets on the front of the camper. This is the big one now, one smaller on other side of window. T...

My front window leaked, and I had delamination similar to yours, except it was the whole panel under the window. I don't know if this is your problem, but what happened to me was:
The leak was very difficult to figure out. The window was "fully sealed", from what myself and an experienced RV repair guy could see. What was happening was water was actually running up the outside of the bottom window seal (maybe 1/2 inch), down the window, under the window, up the inside of the inside window seal, then down the seal, under the inner trim, and then to in between the front panels to then delaminate the panels. The only reason I figured it out was because I happened to be looking at the base of the window when I noticed an air bubble make the trip under the seals. There ended up being gallons of water in between the front panels that must have accumulated over the winter.
The RV repair guy took off the front trim and pulled up the front panel, let things dry in his shop, then glued it all back together and put everything back in place. Yes, it was expensive, and fortunately I had insurance on the TT that paid for it.
I asked the repair guy about just removing the front window (we don't use anyways), but he didn't want to get into that project.
Don't know if any of this helps you figure out what is going on, but good luck!
